Chief Executive of Business Council of Australia Jennifer Westacott says the “big labour shortage” and migration will be key issues to address at the Australian-New Zealand Leadership Forum this morning.
Ms Westacott said Australia and New Zealand can collaborate to upskill workers, research and improve Pacific partnerships.
“It’s a great opportunity for people to come together,” she told Sky News Australia.
“I’m really hoping we have some really practical conversations.”

More mass migration no doubt…
Well vaccine mandates banned hundreds of thousands of people without covid from working and the vaccinated spread the virus like wildfire.. Seems Australia really screwed up big time and did the opposite of what they should have, stuck in the lie though now hey..
How pathetic are these people. We all know mandates have caused the labour shortages
They're all so butch down there. Yikes.
Let the unvaccinated work, then. It’s documented that 99% of cases end in recovery. If that’s not good enough for you then you’re neurotic, paranoid and should be locked up with no voting rights. Your ignorance has done enough damage 😎
Yeah we get it, both the "left" and the "right" are going to come together and scream for more migrants.
We have too many now. Get those people off welfare, they never work. Stuff you lady, we will be trying to get food soon because there will be a problem with Diesel just like overseas. All planned and working beautifully.
umm mandates have no reason to this?? lol
Rents are increasing due to lack of supply and she wants to increase migration 🙄
Businesses should drop the vaccine mandates, the Government has. That should help the Big labour shortage.
Amazing they know its there illegal mandates yet they couldn't care less so overseas cheap slave Labor is there answer

This "big labour shortage” is nothing more than desire to import cheap labour to save corporate money by not having to train Aussies and keep wages low.
News Corp has little interest in helping Aussies workers. They have been pushing this line for a long time.
She is arguing for 70% 'skilled' migration. We must be running out of uber and taxi drivers again.
Rubbish! This is just wage crushing. We should only take about 70k people a year.
Both countries have Labor governments…
Labor = Fabian Socialism.
Expect to hear that the ‘solution’ involves socialist dependency policies of some kind, and reciprocal ‘obligations’ like compelled labor, social credit scores, monitor-able cashless welfare, some kind of tracking app etc…
get ready for it
Remove mandates and upskill/invest in AUSSIES!!
Jennifer be like “waaaah I want my s1@ves back!” 😢
Well we are importing UK Dr's into Qld and waiving the skills upgrading.
Are we struggling without our "slaves". We showed the world how poor the country is managed from lockdowns, vaccine mandates and even tennis players so many dont want to come here anymore. So the solution is being robbed from other countries so they cant be treated poorly. Get all those woman to save us.
No labour shortage, just excuses to implement the great reset.
MORE TROLLEY COLLECTORS NEEDED
too many undesirable migrants is the problem
Mass migration agenda.
No more Kiwis here in Australia, don't NZ have any jobs in their own citizens?
Australian businesses must train staff.
Nobody will work picking vegetables for worthless pay. How about business use machines h way the where indeed. To make life easy, not to a mak more money.
"labour shortage" means "don't want to pay, will import migrants to replace you, the voter"
Lets Go Albo
Australian born people need to be trained to do the work required, also unvaccinated not being able to work added to the shortage. Importing workers is not the answer as hundreds of thousands of overseas born workers have left the country, it wasn't Australian born workers who left the country. Importing workers creates housing demand which pushes up prices, which makes it hard for families to afford to rent and buy a home this pushes up the cost of living. When the cost of living goes up couples cannot afford to have as many kids. Which is where we are now as less kids are being born which means less workers 20 years down the track. In 2002 it was 1.76 babies per woman, in 2020 it was 1.58.
As long as you lock people like rats nothing is going to change! 🐀🔒
they want more slaves from overseas to work for next to nothing while not training their own aussie/nz people
